Mag. pth Linda Acikalin

Person-centered psychotherapist as well as marriage, family, and parenting counselor pursuant to §95, life and social counselor, supervisor, and lecturer.

During my studies in psychotherapy science, I worked in the radiology department of the Sanatorium Hera in Vienna and completed a nine-month internship in the biological-psychiatric intensive and acute care unit at the General Hospital of Vienna. I also completed an internship with Dr. Ernst Hruska, who was responsible for psychosomatic medicine. In my final theses, I focused on topics such as violence against Turkish migrant women as well as the person-centered perspective on breast cancer patients.

In my psychotherapeutic practice in Vienna, my focus is on accompanying younger and older people with traumatic experiences, acute crises – such as loss or in a palliative context – as well as anxiety and stress-related disorders.
